24. Such commissioners shall attend such monthly meetings in rotation, not less than one third of the whole number of such commissioners attending at each meeting; but it shall be lawful for any commissioner to attend and vote at such monthly meetings, if he thinks proper so to do, although it be not his turn to attend; and if any commissioner whose turn it shall be to attend shall fail to attend or to procure some other commissioner to attend in his stead, such commissioner so making default shall forfeit the sum of forty shillings, to be paid to the treasurer or clerk of the commissioners; and if any such commissioner shall fail or refuse to pay such fine or penalty within ten days after the same shall be demanded of him personally by the said treasurer or clerk, he shall thereupon cease to be and shall be disqualified from acting as such commissioner; provided always, that in case of sickness or other unavoidable absence, such fine or penalty may be remitted at any meeting of such commissioners.
